That Witt was a screaming deal! The crystal are NLA but there are others out there that fit if you know what to hunt for. I would have grabbed that in a second if I saw that

Good news is after a pretty long drought, the good deal are slowly making their way back. I've caught some pretty amazing stuff in the past couple months. Let's hope it stays that way!
This is a fact. After purchasing 3 watches on this forum in the last 30 days, I will be slowing way down. Only after peices that speak ever so softly and passionately to me. You know, the kind of watch you feel like you have known all your life even though you just met. You know the kind of watch you could really see yourself settling down with. The kind of watch you touch all the time and it's natural. The type you can really rip off the straps with and put on something a little more tapered 🥰. You know the kind of watch you cheat on with another watch and it's still all good. The kind of watch other people stare at and you don't even mind because you know she is yours. .

Surprisingly, I know EXACTLY what you're talking about. I just don't think I'm ready to settle down yet 🤔

I keep lying to myself, saying I'll slow my roll but then dsio posts something, and then JWR tags it up ... all of a sudden, my wallet is crying like after a Steam Summer Sale.

I’m just a dumpster diver- when Ash posts something, jump fast.

What is this "settle down" you speak of?

You summarized the last 2 months of my life since I joined OF. I’m embarrassed to show anyone what I have been hoarding from all around the world.

This would feel more like an intervention if I were showing it to my wife.

Here is most of the wristwatches I have bought during the last few months. Most are from what you, dsio and others have posted on OF. The dials and open movements represent ongoing projects where I either screwed something up, or I’m waiting for a part or a new crystal. Some are just for practicing and learning more about watchmaking which will hopefully allow me to destroy less Omegas in the future.

That’s a nice collection there, a lot of pieces that are too good for the trash-panda thread that’s for sure

Oh man, the abuse keeps coming. Say whatever you like, but don't think about trying to raid this dumpster. It's ours. 😁

He has his own dumpster over in the Omega ONLY on eBay thread. We believe in inclusion over here, we welcome all trash watches equally and don’t discriminate.
